We had TO yield the belt to Dunns Chapel in
the snake story contest, but we can knock him
out in one round on the rat story. In the
Nrws-HERALD for May 26th he tells Of one
hundred and sixteen rats being killed in three
hours. One afternoon Q few days ago RAM
doiph Foster and couple Of boys caught and
killed two hundred and forty-seven rats around
his barn and corn crib, and few days ago
Hugh Terrell and two others killed one hun.
dred rats in one evening. Now amt we about
three ahead? Greenfield, don't YOU turn nm
your nose, for there is nothing fisiy about this
story.
Last Friday night about eigh. o'clock big
blaze in the direction Of Oak Grove was seen
Dy some OF our citizens. Word soon came to
town that Wilson Haines' barn had burned to
the ground with all its contents. All of his
farming implements and about ton of hay
were in the barn, and were DESTROYED Two
horses that were in it were gotten out safe.
The barn was insured for $40O and the imple-
ments for 5000. The origin Of the fire is q
great mystery. Mr.. Haines has no idea how n
caught fire.

Last Friday night the closing exercises of
our public school were held in the school build
ing. By eight o'clock the hall was crowded TO
lts utmost capacity, with hardly any room to
turn round. The program consisted Of decls-
nations, dialogues, music etc., by the scholars.
The younger scholars rendered their part Of
the work in very able manner, and reflected
much credit upon their teachers. An instru-
mental duet by Misses Rosa and Marie Cohn.
and an instrumental piece by Miss Marie Cohn
we're well rendered and very much appreciated
Dy the audience. The exercises wound up with
. splendid drama entitled 'The Last Loaf"
Those taking part In it were Messrs. Will Cohn, |
Pete Adams, Seymour Patton, Fred Kelley,
md James Earle, and Misses Sallie Cohn, Sadie
Orsell and Blanche Haines. Everyone Of them
played their parts admirably, and we will put
them against any other cast Of amateurs Of
their age In the country. The same piece was
played at Leesburg last week by q troupe from
Ssbins, and those that saw both performances
say that the drama here was rendered consid-
erably better than 1t was at Leesburg. Alto
yether the entertainment was 4 yery ENJOYABLE
affair aud was we'll appreciated by the large
audience. The teachers, Professor Barrett,
Misses Ella Behymer and Bessie Horsman,
ieserve much credit for the successful and en-
ertaining program 30 well rendered by the
